Imagine being triggered by Elon Musk because he wants Twitter to be more open and successful. Strange, right? You’d think Elon was talking about unleashing the doors of the most evil, hideous, hateful and racist people on the planet …
Well, considering that most people on the left think this way about people on the right, let’s assume that the absolute fit we’re seeing makes sense.
Kind.
As if we needed another reminder that people on the right think people on the left only have bad ideas, while people on the left think people on the right are just bad people.
This thread nailed … we don’t want the left to leave Twitter. Who will we point to and laugh at if they do?
I don’t want the left to leave Twitter.
I want the level of the playing field.
This is why the left wants to leave Twitter.– Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love RT (@lone_rides) April 25, 2022
Yup
They don’t want people they disagree with to have the same opportunity to share their ideas and narratives as they do.
I am more knowledgeable on Twitter that I don’t watch the news or any news website.
I have a better idea of the leftist mentality being on Twitter than not.
I don’t want them to leave. I sincerely want them to stay here and keep talking.

We too.
There is no better campaign for the right of tweets than the crazy left.
huh
The problem is that now they are used to being able to scream at companies and people in submission. They can manipulate the algorithms because they know that others on the left are in charge.
They don’t want to play if everyone plays by the same rules.

Exactly.
They loved “deleting” accounts, people, companies and organizations they disagreed with, and they knew for sure that Twitter would agree with them. Hopefully, under Musk’s ownership, that shit would stop.
Taylor Lorenz should have blocked his account for doxxing LibsofTikTok, but he didn’t.
Perhaps now, this will change. Perhaps the rules on doxxing and threats will be the same across the board.

He should have lost count for targeting an innocent person for his own gain.
He should have lost count for exposing LOTT’s family to possible violence.
Instead, they protected her.
THIS should change.
“The right just wants to say the N-word and be racist without consequences.”
I know it is the caricature that has drawn the left, but it is not the reality.
– Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love RT (@lone_rides) April 25, 2022
Yes, and it’s a lazy caricature that Twitter has been more than happy to feed.
Saying “men cannot be women” is not transphobic. It’s science.
Questioning climate change is not anti-science.But both of these things can get you banned.
– Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love RT (@lone_rides) April 25, 2022
Yup
All we want right is fairness.
If a right can be banned for doxxing, a left should too.
If a right can be banished for telling someone to kill themselves, a left should too.
Same rules, equally applied.
It’s such a crazy idea, it might work.
– Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love RT (@lone_rides) April 25, 2022
Consistency would be nice.
Not being completely throttled would be nice.
Conservative media with millions of VERIFIED readers would be nice.
There is such a clear and ugly bias on Twitter … and the left wants to keep it that way.
I fear, however, that left-handers will leave, because when you are used to privileges, equality feels like an oppression.
And they have been very privileged.
– Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love RT (@lone_rides) April 25, 2022
Some will leave.
Just to come back and play the victim.
Others will stay and spend their days moaning and complaining about how unfair it is that Twitter is right now.
Hey, no one has accused any of these people of being the brightest crayons in the box.
